Council discusses 2026–27 budget and approves small amendment for Arc of the Mid‑Ohio Valley
Summary
Council reviewed the proposed 2026–27 general fund budget (balanced, with a modest property tax increase and a 3% pay raise) and approved one amendment adding $1,500 for Arc of the Mid‑Ohio Valley offset from contingencies; the final budget vote will occur at a future meeting after staff incorporates amendments.
Council held a discussion on the proposed 2026–27 general fund budget, which the presenter described as balanced and including a property tax increase, a 3% employee pay raise and modest increases in insurance costs. Council members were invited to propose amendments for incorporation into the final budget.
One councilor moved, and members approved, an amendment to add $1,500 to line item 015457068 for Arc of the Mid‑Ohio Valley, offset by a like amount from contingencies (account 019999). Staff confirmed that amendments approved at the meeting will be incorporated into the final budget the council will consider at the next regular meeting; the meeting did not include a final vote on the full 2026–27 budget.
Councilors thanked the budget staff for the work on the large document and emphasized the standard process: make amendments in the discussion meeting, have staff incorporate them, and then vote on the final budget at a later meeting.
